That's probably either Jap arrow boo or a Sasa. Looks like good stuff.

Looks like something to me , I'm about ready to give up - have been searching for switch cane for (going on a year now) and think I've finally found some in Northern Alabama along the Tennessee river. Only problem is It's a National game preserve and I know they won't let me cut any, even though they have acres of it mowed down along the road just because that's tha rules . Not to worry, I already have some in the truck ..

It's funny people would rather let something go to waste rather than let it be used.  "No you can't cut any of that, Sorry"  Next thing you see is a chainsaw, payloader and a 40 yd dumpster full of once great usable stuff.  Go figure.

Yep, get's very irritating Rick . I seem to run into that everywhere I go. Last time it was osage trees at a new housing addition being put in - acres and acres of osage, oaks, elm, you name it. I couldn't find anybody on site big enough to tell me to go ahead, I even called several of the stump removal company's in the area to see if I could gather just a few in front of their dozers and chippers (oh, we don't do that - was the reply) - drive by a month later and their ain't a tree left standing !

Thats progress.......they cant let you have it...because of the Liability....if you get Hurt and Sue them out of Business..I asked a huge landowner here (240 sections = 153,600 acres) if I could cut some Mesquite for Bows and firewood..He told His Ranch Foreman to tell Me that His Lawyers wouldn't approve it...because if I got Hurt during the process of harvesting the Wood...on Said Landowners Property....they They may be Liable...and I could and would most likely Sue..........sothis Spring I drive by....and the had 4 D# Dozer's with 3 foot rippers on the Back....taring up every Mesquite i sight.....so that the Grasses will grow thicker for Grazing....now His Land is littered with debris Piles 2 foot tall and 40 foot wide....of all useable Wood that they are going to set fire too....as soon as we start to get some rain around here....PROGRESS........it really sux........

[ricktrojanowski]

 You are exactly right,  progress,

[cowboy]

I agree - it sucks ..

  Rick and Paul ya'll are right. Government agency's are kinda like when Pa said, "Do as I say, not as I do".  I once saw the Water Mngt district plow a big fire cut here. When they got through I saw about 30 chopped up ,protected, Gopher Tortoises. Anybody else would have been fined thousand's of dollars.
